1

Start by making the sponge cake: beat 3 eggs with 1 cup sugar at medium-high speed.

Sift 1 cup of flour twice and fold it into the egg mixture in three additions using a spatula.

4

Preheat the oven to 190°C (374°F).

5

Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking dish and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden.

6

Once the sponge cake is cool, cut it into three equal layers.

7

Prepare two types of custard: simple custard and chocolate custard by melting dark chocolate in the microwave and mixing it with the custard.

8

For soaking, mix liquor with water and sugar.

9

Begin assembling the dessert by soaking the bottom layer of sponge cake with the soaking liquid, then spread a layer of custard on top.

10

Add a layer of crushed cherries and chocolate shavings on top of the custard.

11

Prepare the meringue by whipping egg whites with sugar and lemon juice until fluffy, then pipe it onto the dessert.

12

Bake the meringue at 160°C (320°F) for about 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
